Colorado Divorce Readiness Assessment

Reviews residency, service, property, debts, support, parenting, safety, disclosures, agreements, and procedural readiness.

Who this is for: spouses considering, starting, or responding to a divorce.

Colorado law note (August 12, 2026): Colorado generally requires one spouse to have lived in the state for at least 91 days before filing. A decree cannot ordinarily enter until at least 91 days after joint filing or service, and a child generally must have lived in Colorado for at least 182 days (or since birth if younger) for initial parenting orders, subject to jurisdictional exceptions.
